Description Suggest change

The Corndog Wall is a 30' wall along the north side of the Stairway Loop trail. The majority of the routes are bolted and range from 5.5 to 5.11 currently. The rock is coarse and getting better with time. Many of the routes have seen few ascents so bear in mind that we are still in the break in phase. It is imperative that climbers are mindful of hikers and keep the trail free of gear and pets. 

This area has been in the back of our mind for years while we worked on taller routes in the vicinity. Eventually we all came around to the idea of a quick hit sport climbing area that was easy to access and quick to climb. Jarrod Webb led the charge on the basic outline of the routes and especially the Corndog theme. I think years of gas station corndogs finally took their toll. If you meet him thank him for his hard work, hell... buy him a corndog

**UPDATE as of 5/29/22**

2 routes on this wall have had hangers removed because the bolts were unsafe and completely unusable. THIS WALL IS TOP ROPE ONLY for the time being. If you do chose to lead every bolt should be checked and handled to ensure it is safe to clip. The two routes which hangers have been removed are Full Metal Corn dog: bolt 1, and Little house on the corndog: last bolt.

  

Getting There Suggest change

There are two ways to get to the Corndog Wall you can go to "The Shady Grove" and go up the stairs and then follow the white dots down and across the shallow gorge, this is the least preferred way. The best way to get there is to go along the trail that passes "The Rehab wall" and "The Grotto" and take a left and along the Stairway Loop trail. This is the easiest and fastest way to get there.
